The particular fate of modern theoretical physics is in its belief that scientific questions are answerable, rather than merely rhetoric. And by giving and having given answer, physics has successively become entrained in the romantic doctrine of Becoming and the machinations of its handmaid logicism. In this essay I shall defend the thesis that early 20th century physics, which ever since has been lauded as a scientific revolution, has practically maneuvered itself into the mind-contorting off by sacrificing context in favor of positive fundamentalism.
